Juneteenth Celebration

The observance of Juneteenth is about the journey and achievement of African Americans. June 19th 1865, was the day word reached the enslaved in Galveston, Texas of their emancipation, though it had been so since January, 1, 1863. It is a story of pride, resilience and determination that will always be of historical and spiritual importance. It serves us well to understand that together, we can overcome all obstacles in our path.
